Payún Matrú developed on sediment and volcanic rocks ageing from the
Volcanic activity at Payún Matrú commenced during the Plio-Pleistocene period, and generated lava fields such as Pampas Onduladas, the Payún Matrú shield volcano and the Payun volcano. After the formation of the caldera, volcanism continued both within the caldera as lava domes and flows, and outside of it with the formation of scoria cones and lava flows east and especially west of Payún Matrú. Volcanic activity continued into the Holocene until about 515 years ago; oral tradition of local inhabitants contains references to earlier eruptions.
Name
In local dialect, the term Payún or Paium means "bearded", while the term Matru translates as "goat".[2] The field is sometimes also known as Payenia.[3]

The cones are aligned along easterly or northeasterly lineaments[19] which correlate with geological structures in the basement,[39] and appear to reflect the tectonic stresses underground.[40] Among these lineaments is the La Carbonilla fracture which runs in east–west direction and crops out in the eastern part of the field; in the central sector it is hidden by the caldera and in the western it is buried by lava flows.[41] The La Carbonilla fracture is a fault[40] that appears to have been an important influence on the development of the Payún Matrú complex in general.[42] Fissural ridges and elongated chains of vents and cones highlight the control that lineaments exercise on the volcanic eruptions.[43] In the summit area, pumice cones are aligned along the caldera rim.[44]
Among the cones in Payún Matrú are the
- Los Morados is a complex of scoria cones and vents of different agesStrombolian activity and a lava flow-induced rafting and re-healing of its slopes.[50]
- On the southeast and east Los Morados is bordered by a lapilli plain, the Pampas Negras,[51] which was formed by fallout of Strombolian eruptions and is being reworked by wind with the formation of dunes.[32]
- Morado Sur consists of two aligned cones that formed in the same eruption and are covered with reddish deposits;[52] it also features several vents and lava flows.[53]
- Volcán Santa María is a cone with a small crater and also covered with red lava bombs.[54] It is 180 m (590 ft) high and is associated with an area called "El Sandial", where lava bombs have left traces such as impact craters and aerodynamically deformed rocks.[55]
Pampas Onduladas and other giant lava flows
Payún Matrú is the source of the longest
This compound lava flow moved over a gentle terrain
Together with the Þjórsá Lava in Iceland and the Toomba and Undara lava flows in Queensland, Australia, it is one of only a few Quaternary lava flows that reached a length of over 100 km (62 mi)[57] and it has been compared to some long lava flows on Mars.[66] Southwest from Pampas Onduladas lie the 181.2 kilometres (112.6 mi) long Los Carrizales lava flows, which have in part advanced to even larger distances than Pampas Onduladas but owing to a straighter course are considered to be shorter than the Pampas Onduladas lava flow,[67][68] and the La Carbonilla lava flow which like Los Carrizales propagated southeastward and is located just west from the latter.[51] Additional large lava flows are located in the western part of the field and resemble the Pampas Onduladas lava flow, such as the El Puente Formation close to the Rio Grande River of possibly recent age.[37] Long lava flows have also been produced by volcanic centres directly south of Payún Matrú,[69] including the 70–122 km (43–76 mi) long El Corcovo, Pampa de Luanco and Pampa de Ranquelcó flows.[70][71]
Hydrography and non-volcanic landscape
Apart from the lake in the caldera, the area of Payún Matrú is largely devoid of permanent water sources, with most water sites that draw in humans being either temporary so-called "toscales" or ephemeral.
Geology
West of South America, the
There is evidence of Precambrian[78] (older than 541 ± 0.1 million years ago[45]) and Permian-Triassic (298.9 ±0.15 to 201.3 ±0.2 million years ago[45]) volcanism (Choique Mahuida Formation)[79] in the region, but a long hiatus separates them from the recent volcanic activity which started in the Pliocene (5.333–2.58 million years ago[45]). At that time, the basaltic El Cenizo Formation and the andesitic Cerro El Zaino volcanics were emplaced.[80] This kind of calcalkaline volcanic activity is interpreted to be the consequence of flat slab subduction during the Miocene (23.03-5.333 million years ago[45]) and Pliocene,[13] and took place between twenty and five million years ago.[76] Later during the Pliocene and Quaternary the slab steepened, and probably as a consequence volcanism in the land above increased,[81] reaching a peak between eight and five million years ago.[15]

The geological history of the Payún Matrú volcanic field is poorly dated
The first volcanic activity occurred west and east of Payún Matrú and involved the emission of olivine basalt lava flows.[40] The long Pampas Onduladas lava flow was erupted 373,000 ± 10,000 years ago[116] and buried parts of the 400,000 ± 100,000 years old Los Carrizales lava field;[37] both have hawaiitic composition.[117] The Payun volcano formed around 265,000 ± 5,000 years ago within a timespan of about 2,000–20,000 years.[35] Its inferred eruption rate of 0.004 km3/ka (0.00096 cu mi/ka) is similar to typical volcanic arc eruption rates such as at Mount St. Helens.[29]
The main Payún Matrú massif formed in about 600,000 years, with the oldest trachytic rocks dated to 700,000 years ago. It is comprised by the lavic and ignimbritic Pre-caldera Trachyte unit[23] and consists of trachyandesitic to trachytic rocks, with trachyte being the most important component.[13] The massif may have formed a tall edifice like the Payun volcano before caldera collapse.[68]
The formation of the caldera coincides with the eruption of the Portezuelo Ignimbrite[41]/Portezuelo Formation[17] and took place between 168,000 ± 4,000 and 82,000 ± 2,000 years ago.[e][34] This ignimbrite formation where it is not buried by younger eruption products[119] spreads radially around the caldera and reaches a maximum exposed thickness of 25 metres (82 ft);[24] it covers an area of about 2,200 km2 (850 sq mi) on the northern and southern sides of Payún Matrú,[17] and its volume is estimated to be about 25–33 km3 (6.0–7.9 cu mi).[119] The event was probably precipitated by the entry of mafic magma in the magma chamber and its incomplete mixing with pre-existent magma chamber melts,[95] or by tectonic processes;[103] the resulting Plinian eruption generated an eruption column, which collapsed, producing the ignimbrites.[17] Different layers of magma in the magma chamber were erupted during the course of the eruption[120] and eventually the summit of the volcano collapsed as well, forming the caldera; activity continued and emplaced lava domes[17] and lava flows in the caldera area. These post-caldera volcanic formations are subdivided into three separate lithofacies.[119]
Basaltic and trachyandesitic activity continued after the formation of the caldera.[1] Morphology indicates that the El Rengo and Los Volcanes volcanic cones appear to be of Holocene age, while the Guadaloso vents formed during the Plio-Pleistocene.[17] One age from the eastern side is 148,000 ± 9,000 years ago, it comes from northeast of the Payún Matrú caldera.[121]
Uneroded volcanic cones and dark basaltic lavas indicate that activity continued into the Holocene.
Various dating methods have yielded various ages for late Pleistocene-Holocene volcanic eruptions:
- 44,000 ± 2,000 years ago, surface exposure dating.[127]
- 43,000–41,000 ± 3,000 years ago, surface exposure dating, El Puente Formation. Basaltic lava flows of this formation reach ages of about 320,000 ± 5,000 years, implying a prolonged history of emplacement.[128]
- 41,000 ± 1,000 years ago, underlying the Los Morados lava flow.[129]
- 37,000 ± 3,000 years ago, surface exposure dating,[127] close to the Rio Grande River.[51]
- 37,000 ± 1,000 years ago, La Planchada fallout deposit.[130]
- 37,000 ± 2,000 years ago, northwestern side of the caldera.[131]
- 28,000 ± 5,000 years ago, potassium-argon dating, lava flow[130] on the westerly side.[132]
- 26,000 ± 5,000 years ago, potassium-argon dating, close to the Rio Grande.[132]
- 26,000 ± 2,000 years ago, potassium-argon dating, not the same as the 26,000 ± 5,000 flow.[132]
- 26,000 ± 1,000 years ago, potassium-argon dating, rhyolitic lava flow in the La Calle group.[130]
- 20,000 ± 7,000 years ago, north of the Payún Matrú caldera.[121]
- 16,000 ± 1,000 years ago, underlying the Los Morados lava flow.[129]
- 15,200 ± 900 years ago,[133] potassium-argon dating, lava flow on the northwesterly[130]-westerly side.[132]
- 9,000 years ago, potassium-argon dating.[127]
- 7,000 ± 1,000 years ago, potassium-argon dating, Escorial del Matru within the caldera.[130]
- <7,000 years ago, potassium-argon dating, trachyandesitic lava flow[130] in the western part of the field.[132]
- 6,900 ± 650 years before present, thermoluminescence dating on the Guadalosos cones[127] on an eastward running fracture.[118]

- 2,000 ± 2,000 years ago, surface exposure dating, young looking lava flow in the west.[134]
- 1,705 ± 170 years before present, trachytic volcanic bombs.[118]
- 1,470 ± 120 years before present, thermoluminescence dating on Volcán Santa María[118] although a much older age of 496,000 ± 110,000 years ago has also been given.[55]
- 515 ± 50 years[135] before present, thermoluminescence dating on Morado Sur cone[127] and on the Pampas Negras lapilli field.[118]
- 445 ± 50 years before present, lava domes on the caldera margin.[118]
